Subject: [PATCH] lib: dhry: Fix sleeping allocations inside non-preemptable section

The Smatch static checker reports the following warnings:

lib/dhry_run.c:38 dhry_benchmark() warn: sleeping in atomic context
lib/dhry_run.c:43 dhry_benchmark() warn: sleeping in atomic context

Indeed, dhry() does sleeping allocations inside the non-preemptable
section delimited by get_cpu()/put_cpu().

Fix this by using atomic allocations instead.
Add error handling, as atomic these allocations may fail.

Alternatively, memory (de)allocation could be spin off into their own
functions, and called outside the non-preemptable section. But that
would be more intrusive.
